Two exciting titles due out this fall.

Years ago at E3 I learned a valuable less about not counting my chickens until they were hatched.  I may be guilty of this crime again but I think I am a little more secure in this current option.  Back in the day I praised a very kewl looking game that was in development alas it died on the vein due to office politics and plan old financing.

Also you have the “hype over reality = suck factor over disappointment” equation

However, knowing the developer and the passed games they have created, I am going to gamble and say that the pre buy on these two titles would be a good bet.

What two games am I talking about?

The Orange Box due out October 1, 2007

That contains Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, and Team Fortress 2

That right TF2 with cartoony skins which look very kewl in previews.  Will it really arrive 10/1/07?  You can pre-buy via Amazon have them ship it to you asap (if your prime) when it does come out.

And

Crysis due out November 13, 2007

Game Stuff:

·         An epic story thrusts players into an ever-changing environment, forcing them to adapt their tactics and approach to conquer battlefields ranging from newly frozen jungle to zero-gravity alien environments

·         The high-tech nano-suit augments your abilities on the battlefield in real time - Enhance their speed, strength, armor and cloaking abilities to approach situations in creative tactical ways

·         Blow the opposition away with experimental weapons like the TAC launcher, discover alien technology and utlise custom ammunition from incendiary-tipped rounds to tactical munitions that can silently put foes to sleep

·         Lifelike enemy AI challenges players -- assess a situation and approach it strategically, to be proactive & not reactive in the fight

·         Battle a horrifying alien species in a true Zero-gravity environment, as players adapt to moving in Zero-G, contending with the recoil from their weapons and more

We are not as pumped about Crysis as we are about seeing TF2, but we haven’t been waiting and waiting and waiting for it either.  The previews look like there is a good level of player interaction but we fear that the PC version might be one of those console games that plays on a PC.  Still we are desperate for something to scratch that gaming itch.
